CURA 3.6 not sliccing correctly (?) { Ultimaker 2+ }

So, I've upgraded from 3.4 to 3.6.  And now parts don't print worth a hoot.  I've attached a file that previously printed just fine - the old gcode still prints fine, but I needed to make a slight modification to the model for the final piece.  If I slice with CURA 3.6, it just does retched things - hair everywhere, it looks like it's getting lost in the X (or Y?) axis, big blobs of schmutz - no fine details.  Pretty sure I have the settings set pretty close to what I had before (except maybe for retraction prime distance - it doesn't really let me tweak that acceptably).

 

Thing is, if I slice the model in Simplify3D, it works pretty good.  I've attached a couple of STLs and gcode (from both S3D and C3.6) that I'm currently working with, and seem to be affected by this issue.  Some help/insights would be appreciated.  In the meantime, I may switch back to 3.4 or 5 to get things sorted out.  Not sure.

    Hello @tomii, yes, it's gone badly wrong hasn't it. There appears to be great chunks of wall missing.

     

    I can slice that model using my (modified) Cura and it looks a lot better. Have you tried the 4.0 beta? Perhaps that is better than 3.6?

     

    Your gcode looks like this:

    My gcode (with support added) looks like this:

    I attach my gcode which is created from your model and profile with support added.

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
